I am a new user of Vista Home Premium.  I just purchased an HP Pavilion m8200n desktop.

Periodically, upon startup, my disk drive gets beat to death.  When disk activity finally ceases, I find a large file in "C:\System Volume Information\".  The latest instance (just a few minutes ago) was 4GB in size.

From searching the internet, I have found others experience the same thing, but so far I haven't seen a cause identified.  Some have suggested turning of the indexing service: Windows Search.  I did.  I still experience the problem.

Any help would be appreciated, either an outright identification of the problem or suggestions on how to isolate what is causing it.
